Sold the company itself and is now working for the new owner?
That is f'in difficult on every single level.

You'll remain the cornerstone Kevin. One step back.

Kevin and I formed Automotive Innovations & Restorations, LLC in the beginning of 2010. Kevin contributed his existing business and expertise, and I contributed a lot of money. After nearly two years of operating at a consistent loss, and a difference about the future direction of the business, we mutually agreed to part ways. As part of the split, I became the owner of the AIR brand and the website, and Kevin retained the location, phone number and the right to use the AIR name and website if he wishes. IMO, Kevin is a true master craftsman, with unparalleled skills and abilities to repair our Porsches.

The new AIR is still an idea/work in process, which is not yet fully formed, but I don't plan on being in the collision repair or body business. I'll leave that to the master.

Kevin,

Hope that things go well for you and you keep a smile on your face!

Merry Christmas and hope your holidays are just what you want/need!

End of an era? Nah, just the beginning of a new one.

good luck Kevin!

A couple of years ago, Kevin did some rust repair on the front fenders and right-side door of our '69, replacing rusty metal with new sheetmetal that he hand-formed. He then perfectly matched the paint. The result was brilliant. I absolutely could not tell where the repairs had been done. He provides an incredible resource for those of us here in the Lost Angeles area. I'm certainly hoping for the best for him.

Miss ya, Bud.

Wow aren't you just the modern day pirate. Hijacking his company name isn't enough, now you feel the need to hijack a thread intended to give support and appreciation to someone we happen to respect and care about? And what’s with the history lesson? Why did you leave off the first 20 years that Kevin spent building the name and reputation you apparently couldn't build on your own
